Description
The origins of Skimpans Farm are thought to date from about 1500 AD, although an auction description some 300 years later in 1800, describes it as, 'A Freehold Estate forming within itself one of the most agreeable Residences for a Gentleman's Family in the County of Hertfordshire'.
Extensively renovated and restored since 2003 by the current owners, it is Grade II listed including the Granary, which outlooks onto a magnificent courtyard. The five bedoom, three bathroom and four reception accommodation is set in an angled, horseshoe shape with an East and West wing, linked to the South with living rooms facing over the South-facing gardens.
Simply oozing charm and character with an abundance of authentic structural beams, Skimpans provides some 4500 sq ft of family living accommodation plus garages, stores and several outbuildings that could be used for home office, gym or hobbies. In total, over 5000 sq ft.
